Hi All I would prefer NOT do geoengineering because the mitigation people were doing a such a great job that it was not needed. Check out Keeling to see how they have been getting on. However a more likely outcome is that we cannot do geoengineering because the funding for hardware developme

Didn’t read quite as carefully as I could, but two quick comments: i) the assumption in extending the argument to research is that more research increases the likelihood of SRM being used as an excuse not to mitigate; I suspect that is unfounded. That is, more research may make
